Kong Zheng didn't understand Shi Yongyuan's meaning very much.

In his opinion, this is a very normal thing.

"What does Mr. Shi mean? They rebelled and rebelled, of course they had to distribute land to the people below. In order to restore the great rule after the chaos, it was natural to distribute land light taxes and levies. What's so strange about it?"

Kong Zheng stared at Shi Yongyuan, waiting for his high theories.

Of course, Shi Yongyuan was not a nonsense, he was also targeted.

"I remember that the Zhao family used to make a lot of money, and each of them was rich. You shouldn't forget the appearance of Zhao family making money, right? We have all suffered."

Many people nodded, obviously remembering the dark time when the Zhao family let themselves go under Zhao Xiang's leadership after Zhao Kaishan's death.

They still remember it fresh.

“So what?”

Kong Zheng still doesn't understand.

Shi Yongyuan simply said it out loud.

"After Su Yonglin took power, he not only did not make money or rob land and add private property, but instead distributed all the land that originally belonged to the Zhao family, giving all the land to the farmers. He kept nothing and wanted nothing, not just himself. It is said that the generals under his command were the same, and he had no private property.

Everyone, since ancient times, the rebellion and uprising were nothing more than money, land and women. Su Yonglin and the senior leaders of the Restoration Army did not want these three things. They seemed to care about these things. Is this normal? The rebellion and uprising were not for money, land and women. Is this normal?"

This is indeed abnormal.

The gorgeous point Shi Yongyuan observed did open up many people's horizons. If you follow this clue, you really can't figure out many things.

Kong Zheng looked for a moment and said with some uncertainty: "I can only say that General Su's goal is very big, he doesn't care about money, land and women. What he cares more about is the hegemony of the world."

"The rebellion is said to be for the hegemony of the world and for the sake of power, but you all, isn't power just money, land and women? Without these three things, what's the point of power? Why is it for the sake of power? The world is harmonious?"

Shi Yongyuan spread his hands, his face full of nature.

The education he received told him that he should uphold his conscience when he is in power and strive for the ultimate concept of unity in the world. He did not take power for personal desires.

But all the real life he experienced told him that most people are in power for the vulgar purpose of being arrogant and doing good deeds.

Everyone thinks so.

To hold power means to enjoy more resources, get more money, get more land, beauties... and handsome men.

Without these as embellishments, what is the point of power?

Even Kong Zheng, a descendant of Confucius, didn't know how to explain this kind of thing. His understanding of Su Yonglin was still too limited.

However, following Shi Yongyuan's ideas, many of the people present talked about the "strange things" they noticed and shared them with the participants.

For example, the Liu family, who was born in Wenyang County, Dongping Prefecture.

"I have heard that every time the Liberation Army expelled Jurchens, they took over the land owned by the Jurchens, designated Jurchens' tenant serfs as farmers, allocated land, and did not retain any land itself.

That's not all. They set up something called the Farmers' Association in the countryside. It is said to be used to manage the agricultural production of the entire village and arrange a group of farmers to be the chairman of the Farmers' association, the accountant of the Farmers' association, and other things they have never heard of."

"Who farmers take care of themselves?"

Some people who had never heard of this were shocked: "Don't make trouble? What can those farmers who don't even know each other? What did Su Yonglin think? Crazy?"

"It may not be possible. He seems to have sent people to these farmers' associations, calling them instructors. I don't know if they shouted like this."

Liu Cheng, the head of the Liu family, said, "Don't you say they can't read. Now they may not be able to read. Do you know, the people sent by Su Yonglin will teach these farmers to read."

Everyone was speechless, even Kong Zheng was frowning slightly.

"Recognize words?"

"Yeah, I'm recognizing words!"

Liu Cheng sighed and said slowly: "I also feel puzzled. What can they do if they want to recognize words? How much money will they spend? Will it not delay the farming time if they recognize words? What can those foolish and stupid women do if they recognize words? What do Su Yonglin want to do?"

This is indeed extraordinary. As we all know, idiots are the best to rule and fool. If they recognize words and have knowledge, they will not be so easy to rule. The strategy of fooling people, weak people and tired people is clearly written in the textbooks of rulers.

But now, Su Yonglin is teaching these people to recognize words?

What is he going to do?

Not to mention this issue, Jiang Xingsi, the patriarch of the Jiang family who was born in Pingyin County, Dongping Prefecture, said another thing.

"My family has relatives and relatives in the countryside in the northeast of the county. After going back to visit relatives, I told me that the village was completely different from the past."

Someone asked about this immediately.

"How is it different?"

"He said that after returning to the village, every household had surplus food and could eat enough. The villagers rarely had vegetables on their faces. They also said that the tax on the Restoration Army was extremely low, and there were no other heavy taxes. The tax paid by farmers was less than 30% of the original ones. Every household praised Su Yonglin and the Restoration Army's benevolent politics."

Jiang Xingsi said this, many people jumped up like rabbits with their tails stepped on.

"It was less than 30% of the time? What was Su Yonglin going to do? Be a great charity? It's famous for all generations?"

"Not 20%? He...what he wants to do?"

"Can he refuse to agree to our request and force us to reduce the agricultural tax to this level in the future? I don't want this...I don't want it!"

"He wants to eat braised vegetables by himself! I won't eat it!"

A group of "rabbits" who were stepped on their tails were scolded on the spot and immediately had many opinions about Su Yonglin.

Jiang Xingsi shook his head repeatedly.

"No, no, that's the countryside he commands himself. There is no same requirement for the land we have in addition, and this is not important. It is not uncommon for anyone to do such things as light taxes and taxes.

But my servant also said that when he returned to his hometown to visit relatives, he always felt that many places were different. Those farmers kept talking about the best people, such as cattle and horses, and they recognized a few words today, and they still had to recognize a few words tomorrow.

And there are some villagers' self-defense forces in the village. With force, they often assist the Restoration Army in combat, transporting food and fodder, and some people even advised me not to continue being my servant. That is not what people should do. It is better to go back to farming and become a new person..."

When Jiang Xingsi said this, many people stopped cursing, frowned, and realized that something was getting worse and worse.

It's a little interesting.

In essence, everyone is a landlord and old fortune, and is a relatively high-level landlord and old fortune. Some people have been passed down from generation to generation to become officials, which is not the same as ordinary nouveau riche.

So I understand the advantages of landlords and old wealth over self-cultivated farmers.

But now the situation seems to be different.

With the farmers' associations, organizations, writing, and knowledge in the countryside, it is not as easy to fool around than before, and it can actually say such words as "don't be servants for them".

This is obviously because they are treated as negative characters, and they still have a sense of hostility.

This... may not be very good.

"I first heard that there are many fallacies and evil sayings in the surrounding countryside, saying that people who own a large amount of land are superior people, and those who face the loess and the sky are bulls and horses, which are not even considered humans. If cows and horses want to live a better life, they must resist the superior people.

I didn't care at that time, and thought it was nonsense, just some people's imagination, and it was not a climate at all, so there was no need to worry. But now I think about it, this matter is not simple. I'm afraid that someone is adding fuel to the fire and using us as an enemy."

Zheng Chengze looked for a while, looked at Kong Zheng, and said, "Mr. Kong, what do you think about this? Whether it is the Restoration Army or Su Yonglin, what do they want? What do they want to do?"

Zhou Guangyu was also inexplicably unhappy about this and looked at Kong Zheng.
